Short version: NJ Transit Asbury Park station may not be the most up to date facility, but it gets…read morethe job done. It gives all the basics needed for train travel, but could use an update hopefully in the future. Definitely not bad, it handles its purpose well for the most part. The Deets: I spend quite a few weekends in Asbury Park now. Two of main ways to get there besides driving from "the city" is either by ferry or train, and of course the NJ Transit train is both less expensive of the two and gets you right to the center of town. This part brings me to the subject of my review today, the NJ Transit Asbury Park station. Mainly, it does the job and is adequate. Yes, it may be a bit dated (OK quite a bit dated) and not in that old classic nostalgic type of way. But it has a pretty spacious waiting area inside where you can shelter from the cold/heat, a dedicated ticket office, bathrooms, etc. It even has a little snack area available when open, which is a modest simple little corner you can order and get refreshments while you wait on your train. The station seems to have limited hours for accessing the inside on weekends, just a heads up on that one. The AP station is not bad however it definitely could do with a facelift and some TLC, but it handles a customer's needs adequately.

Let me start by saying that my first experience with travel was with the Greyhound Bus company…read more I enjoyed the trips very much! I remember the chairs with the little TV's that you had to put money into to watch a program! Great stuff back there in the 1980's! But I must let you know that the service has slipped since that time. Many of the major stations have closed, leaving passengers outside. Also, the Customer Service Agents are hazardous to customers. I met an agent at Port Authority in Manhattan, NY that was dating an enemy of mine, that being said you can guess that I got the worst service ever from Greyhound. I was stranded at Port Authority for several days due to her poor customer service efforts. She would not refund my ticket nor schedule me for the next bus. After a days of a long mix up, I was refunded my money. Next, I would like to say Greyhound purchased Flixbus, that being said I want to say that it was awful dealing with this new addition as well. There were mean Asian Customer Service Rep. that refused to refund my ticket. Then an Indian Customer Service reps, on the phone, took my banking info but he did not return my money to the account. To conclude, I must say, when I thought thing could not get any worst, I was in an accident on a Greyhound Bus. First the driver drove off route. Then, he drove into a ditch. The bus almost topple over on its side in slow motion. The bus company was called but never the police. After an assessment, a new bus was sent to continue on. Get this, the same driver who had the accident continued on, to deliver the passengers to the destination. He wasnt taken to the hospital for evaluation. The worst... I have stop riding Greyhound~!

My gates was assigned I arrived earlier hardly even a line....heck I had my own seat all they way to MD. However, my issue with Greyhound is the inconsistency with service. I know things happen when traveling on the roadways but your equipment must be up to par...AT LEAST. SOOOO on the way back before we could even get on the bus good, the driver is telling us that the bus is old and not running that well?!?!? We need to keep our coats on because the heat is not working, it may get up to 60...smh. But what else can we do so we board the icebox and honestly the ride was fine...until the last 1/2 mile. The bus breaks locked up and caught FIRE...YES FIRE!!! The dilemma was of course some people wanted to jump off the fiery bus into traffic...the only thing that kept me calm was I could see the bus station from where we broken downtown. When were let off the bus I just hiked to the subway. Other people like the elder and folks with large bags had to walk and wait...smh. I cant say I will never ride greyhound but just let this be a warning. They seem to have no real protocol if the bus is on FIRE!!!

I sometimes like to visit just to walk around for exercise and have something to eat. The powers keep saying it's going to be torn down and replaced by a new bus terminal. I'm not sure the status of that plan. To me it's kinda classic like Grand Central but without the historic beauty. It's the Statue of Jackie Gleason out front that is so cool. If they move the terminal he may look out of place anywhere else!

Here goes: Generally very clean, both inside and out. Plenty of seating. Outside benches- covered and uncovered. Plenty of parking and bike racks. Quiet, peaceful and safe environment. People are generally very friendly. Garbage cans provided both inside and out. No waiting in bathrooms. Pay phones and five vending machines for snacks and drinks provided. Two TVs with local news and weather visible from anywhere inside. Of course it will attract different crowds for different buses at different times of day. Earlier in the day, it is perfectly clean and people are blue collar and business attire. Later on in the afternoon, bathrooms are not as fresh, and a variety of tramps and hobos may wander in for a warm place to hang out. What can you do? If you want a fair review of the overall service and not just a shocking snapshot of this place at it's worst moments, then I'd say it is a pretty great place to catch a bus. If you come from royalty or are a 'snowflake' then you will never be satisfied. Give up.

I did not have the right away and I did not want to get into a car accident. Then the person cut me off getting onto the highway. I chased the school vehicle doing 85 miles an hour, and I could not catch it, the vehicle must have been doing at least 90 or 95 mph. I was only able to catch up to this vehicle because the people in front of the vehicle did not want to do 95 miles an hour, and I was able to get the lInformation off the van. It was a white Van # 100, and it said "School Vehicle" on the back, and on the passenger door it said "Speedy Mobility." License plate # S2 7286. Then the Van cut between cars and took off doing 90 or 95 mph again. If Love Your Children please find other transportation.
